The lower surfaces are Hat and unin teresting, but the' upper parts are like colossal' billows which are constantly changing, rolling, eddying, whipping to pieces, and forming again. The low er surfaces lie In shadow ? a fact which often gives to the most Innocent apd fleecy of clouds the threatening black appearance of "thunder heads," but the upper surfaces are Just .enough shaded In spots by the uneven ness of contour to afford relief, so that they are not utterly dazzling. The clouds are so sharply defined against the sky, so opaque, that It Is as difficult to believe, that they con sist of yielding vapor as It is for most people to believe in the reality of the ghosts of the traditional ghost stories ?beings who retain all their earthly appearance and habiliments yet have no substance to' resist . n thrust or blow.

There is no impact, no hesitation when the cloud Is reached, but the pnssen ger suddenly realizes that he can no longer sefr the hlue above, that he can not even see the wing tips of the air plane, though he know's that in a few seconds he will return to the condi tions of the ground dwellers, so far as their view of the" sky is concerned. 8hort Candle Burned Out. Mannle Chappelle (Kmanuel S.), a generation ago was a shining figure on Broadway who exemplified the art of Joy living. He was agent for a brand of champagne which he distributed freely at dinners which he gave in or der to Introduce people to it. They had to be people of wealth and social standing to make it worth while for him. He earned big money, spent \t freely, had a great gift of companion ship, which constituted his chief jequip ment for his business, was immensely popular with the kind of people whose trade was desirable, and used to boast that for years at a time h& never saw the sun. Daylight in New York wnsn't worth while. Nothing happened. His wife was Billie Burke's sister. She divorced him. He has Just died, at the age of flfty-flve. No man had more good times in his life than he. We wonder If he was as happy as he made other people, "and doubt it. Prohibi tion ku^rked our his business. He found nothing else worth living for. ?

With these positive proofs of aviation's safety before us, American alrjTlnne manufacturers are going ahead build ing planes, confident that the realisa tion soon will come everywhere that man can tuke care of himself as sure ty in the realm of the birds as in the realm of the flshes. After Pirate'* Gold. The ever-stirring lure of pirate's gold has started another little hand of adventurers off to Cocos Islands, where, at the bottom of a snug little harbor, are said to lie. huge brass bound treasure chests. lti a little craft of 00 feet, the eiuht men who form the expedition have set sail, front a port on the Atlantic seaboard. The central figure In the group is ?Andrew B. Cullen or ilaileybury. Old., who Is the owner and operator of the Instrument with which he claims to be able to discover any kind of metal, and upon whieh the pro moters depend to find their fabulous riches. Another essential figure is one Mc Grath of New York, the promoter of the venture. Th?;y will be accom panied by a prospector of Swedish descent wljo Is said to have discov ered a book and maps in the Hudson bay district of northern Canada Which contains directions as to the approximate location of the hidden riches of the pirates of olden days. The instrument is expected to do the rest. Significant Fosali Remains. The question of the origin of the West Indies will be decided, scientists aver, when the indigenous animal life la found to be related indisputably to that of the South and Central Ameri can mainland. But maihmals, which, being wingless, could not have flown over the Intervening seas, are unfor tunately the most poorly represented group of the higher life of .the Antilles. For this reason much scientific Inter est attaches to a recent expedition to Jamaica, backed by the American Mu seum of Natural History, asserts an article In Popular Mechanics Maga zine. Believing that the West Indies once had a much larger mammal In habitation than today, the expedition concerned itself with the excavation of fossil fauna from the Island's lime stone caves. Many fossils were found, several of them new to science. Man of Hi? Word Is Freed. A man of his word, despite having, served a terra In the Fort Leaven worth penitentiary, David Blattnkoff of East Detroit, MIeh., left the Kings county court a free man after plead- ' Ing guilty to petit larceny. Blatlnkoff was Indicted for forgery two years ago. District Attorney Lewis lodged a warrant at Leaven worth for the man's arrest when his sentence expired, and several days ago was notified that BlatlnkofFs time there was up. The district attorney directed that Blatlnkoff be put on his honor to report to him. Yesterday Blatlnkoff walked Into his office. Coun ty Judge McDermott .gave Blatlnkoff a suspended sentence.
